Congratulations Hong!

I wanted to share this blog with everyone to feature Hong and the cake she made!  Hong is a senior at Roosevelt High School who just complete her Senior Project job shadow requirement with me.  In January one of my old teachers contacted me and said one of her students was interested in cake decorating.  She said Hong wanted to shadow me for her project.  I'm also a graduated of Roosevelt H.S. and was willing to help out another Rough Rider.  Hong completed 30 hours with me and made this cake to share at her final presentation.  Hong designed this cake in Roosevelt's Red & Gold colors which showcased her activities in school- Tennis, Cross Country and Leo Club.  She finished off the cake by including Roosevelt's iconic bell tower.  All the decorations were handmade out of gumpaste and fondant and she used the new techniques she learned to complete the cake.  I'm so proud of all her hard work!

Here's some additional shots of the cake!

Theres only one word to describe the open-house launch party of the Beachfront and Oceanfront Oasis - SPECTACULAR!  After the formal union of a beautiful couple, the party was carried through the night with a fashion show featuring designs by Blaine Ashley, live band music, shirtless waiters serving delicious hors d'oeuvres from Kahala Caterers, fire dancers on the lawn, red carpet entry and a video thank you from Oasis owner Kathy Ireland.  Everyone who contributed to the party did an amazing job.  It was a very special opportunity to have participated in this memorable event and I am very thankful.

Oasis World Estates Video

We recently participated as the cake vendor in the open house launch party for the luxurious Oasis World Estates. Through a series of blogs, we are pleased to share with you some of the beautiful photography from the event and hope you consider this stunning venue for your wedding. This was truly a night to remember!

To kick off the series we start with this video created by the talented Joshua Fair of Fisheye Studio. Joshua's cinematography did an excellent job of capturing the posh and lavish ambiance of the Beachfront and Oceanfront Oasis properties.

Kristen's Sweet 16

 

 Over the weekend we created Kristen's Sweet 16 cake.  The theme of Kristen's party was designed around her favorite book Twilight with decorations of blood red roses and black accents.  For the cake we created a whimsical and fun 3 tiered cake along with 2 half sheet cakes.  The party was full of energy with nearly 150 guests, a magic show and lots of yummy desserts! 

We were honored to have created this cake for Kristen's birthday and we wish her many more to come!
